How many years did you spend working before you decided to start your own business?

Been a decade for me. I did try earlier. Looking back, I wish I tried more attempts. @samalyx

I worked for around 7 years. And I learned many thigs that are now helping me with my business.

I worked for 12 years. Covid was what made me rethink and decided to change and become more serious with my existing online businesses.

Worked for 5-6 years, been a decade since I started my own startup!

4 years. I started before working, stopped halfway and decided to pick it up again with the experiences I've gotten from work.

5 years

I worked for about 6-7 years. Then, in 2019, I had surgery on my spine. This made me stop working at my previous job. After I got better, I started my own digital agency. Now, I have a great team of 10+ people that I'm working with. Things are going well, and I'm having a great time in my daily life.

7 solid years and started it as a side hustle

I'm still working, completing my grad school , prepping for my masters but I've high-key decided to do my own thing already! So let's see how long it takes me to put it all in place 😅😇

About 15 years. However, the first attempts completely failed, as there was not enough experience and knowledge.

I spent 12 years as an employee, but every few years, I tried to launch something, and eventually, some of those attempts led to a sustainable income.

9 unhappy years. Once I launched my first startup, first time I felt happy on Sunday haha :)

I literally started my own business right after college at the age of 22, and it was successful for 5 years. So a major learning experience when you're young and yes, it is possible.

15years

Would not mind if I get hired for a remote position here. I am specialist in Administrative Management, Business, Security, Service Support Supervision, Cluster Management and Real Estate Management.

Worked for 20 years before starting my own business.

I've left the university because there was a lack of practical knowledge. Founded a marketing agency next year

I spent 10 years working as a lawyer before I made the leap into entrepreneurship. But I was so miserable at the law firm that I decided that I needed to try something to help me make money for myself. That's when I got into network marketing. It was the easiest thing that I could start because I didn't have to worry about product development. I mean they made it seem so simple, a business in a box that I could unpack and start selling immediately. But little did I know that it was actually harder than I thought! Starting a business is no joke, especially when you have to find people to buy your product and that was one of the reasons why I failed at it - because I knew absolutely nothing about marketing a product; which is by far one of the most important things that you need to know in business. But I have to say I'm grateful for network marketing because it ultimately lead to my turning point where I became so determined to overcome this major hurdle, that I dove headfirst into learning the ins and outs of marketing and sales - from building my own website to mastering the art of attracting leads, clients, and customers, I immersed myself in understanding every facet of effective marketing. Today, I'm proud to have advised many start up businesses on growth and marketing, I've been the head of marketing and CMO for tech start ups and now I'm passionately working and building a start up of my own that helps digital product creators. It definitely has been an exciting journey.
